Greetings-
It appears that some apologies are due on my part.
I made some strong claims in my original post, based on personal experience, and the numerous reports I have been reading on the Forum.
Several folks in the thread were right to call me out for evidence, as reproducible steps leading to a bug, are the only effective means to diagnose and correct an issue.
I sat down last night determined to document this issue in more detail, the results were not what I expected
I had 2 characters that were in the process of learning the Sorcery spells on Official Servers.
I used the Yellow Lotus Potion on both of these characters.
After using the Yellow Lotus Potion, Attributes, and Knowledge Points reset as expected.
Sorcery was not effected, All previously learned spells were still listed, the Tome of Kurak was still in my Thaumaturgy Bench, and the current spell to be learned was still listed.
As far as I could tell, Yellow Lotus Potion use had no negative effect on Sorcery Progression.
I am not sure why/how this occurred on one of my characters, nor why others continue to report experiencing this issue.
At this point, I feel that it must have been a misunderstanding on my part, or some sort of user error.
@Community I apologize for throwing unnecessary ire your way. You and the rest of the Funcom team should be spending time on addressing well documented issues, and not chasing down rabbit holes like the one I created with this thread.
I will be modifying the title of the thread to make it less inflammatory.
Have a great weekend everyone.
